HISTORY OF THE HARTFORD TRACK CLUB RIVERTON/PLEASANT
VALLEY TWO-LOOP RUN

The run uses a loop that goes up one side of the Farmington River
to Riverton, and down the other to Pleasant Valley. The loop was
measured by Bill Tribou on March 11, 1980, at least that's the date
on his report. The then-new, HTC measuring wheel he used gave him a
distance of 13,787 meters, so two loops would be 17.134 miles.

1972: Manfred Kandschur, 1:39:31 (no women).

1978: George Straznitskas, 1:34 (only finisher reported).

1979: John Vitale, 1:32:08 (That's 2:20:59 marathon pace;
report said the time was a course record. George Straznitskas,
1:32:19, was second overall); Sally Sullivan, 1:59:46, 35th place.
